Product Overview

This circular Mahakala (Six-Armed Mahakala) Gau pendant is a refined example of authentic Rebgong (Regong) Tibetan thangka art, entirely hand-painted with 18K gold on both sides.

The front features the powerful Six-Armed Mahakala form—one of the most important Dharma Protectors in Vajrayana Buddhism—while the back is meticulously painted with a Seven-Treasures Glass Bead Hada motif, symbolizing auspicious offering, protection, and continuity of blessings.

Encased in a traditional Tibetan Gau box, this piece is designed for both devotional use and refined personal wear, combining sacred symbolism with enduring craftsmanship.

The Deity: Six-Armed Mahakala

Six-Armed Mahakala (Mahākāla) is revered as a supreme Dharma Protector, whose role is not to grant superficial wishes, but to:

• Safeguard the teachings of Buddhism

• Remove inner afflictions, obstacles, and delusions

• Protect practitioners on the path of discipline and clarity

• Support righteous intentions through decisive, compassionate force

The six arms symbolize complete mastery over the six realms of existence, reflecting Mahakala’s ability to transform adversity into awakening energy.

This thangka form is traditionally chosen by practitioners seeking protection, stability, and resolute inner strength, rather than decorative symbolism alone.
